ABC Kimberley Mornings with Vanessa Mills offered one minute to each candidate to introduce themselves to the electorate. Apologies were provided by Jane Parker in Darwin with family, Darren Spackman out of range, Taylor Cavanagh in Thailand, Maria Morgan in NSW with family. Four others didn't return our calls.

Issues raised by candidates include creating a healthy and vibrant community and an efficient and transparent shire. Some candidates talked about improving communication between the shire and the community. Others talked about improving the local tourism industry and recreational facilities.
